Driving up Raleigh road turning right. Right on to Zack's mill road. We saw what look like the planet Saturn. In front of our vehicle.

My daughter who is 30 and myself. I am 51. We were riding in the car together and out of our windshield ahead of us we saw this object in the sky that at first I thought was a weather balloon and as I looked at it. I said to my daughter. What is that and she said mom? I was just thinking the same thing and we watched it. It never moved it was big. It was the shape of the planet Saturn. It was mirrored or silver. And it was extremely bright and all of a sudden. It just disappeared. We pulled into a neighborhood after it disappeared to see if we could spot it again and it was just gone.I still don't know. What it is we saw but it was a unidentified flying object! We searched the sky after pulling into the neighborhood and saw 2 planes off in the distance. Not near where the sighting was and they looked nothing like what we saw and there was nothing else in the sky. It was a blue sky and whatever we saw was gone. There was nothing!
